Estimated $1 Million in Potential Revenue to Resort Via International Wedding Leads

Whistler’s Inspired Group has announced that it will collaborate with Whistler.com to better sell and service weddings in Whistler. Inspired Group will provide fulfillment to all wedding leads delivered through Whistler.com, and all wedding accommodations will be subsequently booked through the reservations arm of Whistler.com.

This is an exciting connection with Whistler.com as we expect the web site to generate a sizeable number of wedding leads, says Leah Williams, Chief Innovator, Business Development, Inspired Group. We are pleased to provide the necessary fulfillment to better capture those leads. Whistler.com will also assist us, once we have confirmed properties, in the physical bookings of rooms ensuring that each company is focusing on its core competencies.

Whistler.com inquiries are mostly received from international brides. These couples typically have a very sophisticated vision and extensive needs, says Hettie Bond, Marketing Manager, Whistler.com. We’re confident working with Inspired that these potential clients will be serviced with the kind of savvy and understanding that they require, thus ensuring that Inspired and Whistler.com develop strong relationships with the clients.

With the extensive traffic that Whistler.com receives because of its intuitive url, there are strong indications that this alliance will result in bringing more weddings to Whistler, thus contributing to economic impact in the resort. Weddings are big business and bring revenue to hotels, restaurants, activity operators, entertainers and other venues such as Whistler Blackcomb or Nicklaus North, says Williams. Estimates are that this Whistler.com/Inspired collaboration could result in $1 million in potential revenue to the resort as 90% of the Whistler.com leads stem from US brides who are considering a number of destinations for their wedding - this has very exciting implications for the resort.
